How would i take care of an annulment in Alameda county, CA and is it faster than a Divorce?

You need to file a summons and petition for annulment and have your wife acknowledge service of the legal documents, or have a process server serve her with the documents. With a good attorney and some luck, you might be able to process this as a stipulation for annulment of the marriage with supporting point and authorities and certified copies of the Philippine documents which substantiate your marriage date. Otherwise, just because you ask for you, the judge probably will not rule in your favor. In regard to annulments, the courts tend to be picky, so make sure you have all your “ducks lined up in a row” so that this process may be as summary in nature as possible. I hope this helps. John N.
